Strapped into an American
Dream captures America by whirling readers along a
35,000-mile trek through the 48 contiguous states in a rebuilt
RV. Glenn Maynard brings this journey to all of the armchair
travelers who will love this adrenaline rush. One week following
his wedding, Glenn and his wife quit their jobs, sold their
cars, and set out to find America. This book details how they
were able to realize this dream, and then introduces the unique
people they met and places they visited along the path. Travel
with them through 23 National Parks, Las Vegas, Mardi Gras, and
dusty ghost towns. Feel the rush from tornadoes and the rocking
from an earthquake. Sleep on roadsides and in truck stops,
shifting from state to state, risking danger in favor of a
limited bank account. The maps in hand directed these two
adventurers who decided to get lost in America, and ended up
finding America as a result of their constant thirst for its
history.
These are the dreams of many
Americans in all walks of life. So many people want to travel
the country, but few realize this dream. They may do so
vicariously by reading about these adventures. Feel your
adrenaline rise while reading this book. Laugh along the way.
Share the terror, sorrow, and humor as these feelings surge
through all of the armchair travelers who wish to be strapped
into an American Dream.
